”with a company” - British English speakers would use this.
”in a company” - American English speakers.

There are other prepositions besides ”with” and ”in” which could be used here.

    This is not true. Saying all Americans use ”in a company” is an ignorant thing to assume based on nothing .

When you say ”apply for an internship with a company,” it implies that you want to apply for an internship position that is specifically offered by the company. It indicates that you are interested in working directly with that particular company for the duration of your internship.

On the other hand, ”apply for an internship in a company” suggests that you are seeking an internship opportunity within a company, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the company itself is offering an internship program. It could be through a third-party organization or agency that places interns in various companies.

So, the difference lies in the specificity of the internship opportunity. ”With a company” indicates that you want to work with that company specifically, while ”in a company” suggests a more general interest in finding an internship opportunity within a company setting.
